Getting Underway
There are many things to consider to make your boating trip safe
and enjoyable. You are responsible for the safety of all passengers,
the boat and any damage the boat or its wake may cause. Keep
passengers from blocking your view so that you do not run into
other boats, swimmers, water skiers, personal water vehicles or aids
to navigation.
Safety Checklist
The following checks are essential to safe boating and must be
performed before starting the engine.
• Check the weather report, wind and water conditions.

proper operating condition.
• Check that the fire extinguisher is fully charged.
• Be sure the boat is not overloaded.
• Be sure the operator’s visibility is not obstructed.
• Check that all maintenance has been performed.
• Check the fuel system for leaks and fumes.
Sport
